Primer is pretty important
I wouldnt paint my car without it
The outcome when primer is used is noticeably better

I like 2 wet sand my primer b4 i paint n y was ur gun clogging did u not reduce it right?

2 Quarts should cover the outside + Jams of a EG. if doing engine bay and the intirity of the inside(like a stripped back end) then you will want more.

Yeah im painting the outside n the back part behind the driver n passenger seat n back.


Always a good idea to have extra paint laying around in case of a boo boo, i hope it never happens.

Once mixed it will be harder to get a prefect match if you have to remix paint for a touch up of somthing.

I know it would b hard 2 blend some colors but is white really hard 2 blend in. Well i know if u spray championship white n then go back wit just regular white it'll show but if u blend championship white wit championship white i think it'll b hard 2c small mistakes. Especially cause white hides dings n stuff very well.
